The visitors were preparing to celebrate when Koke looked set to finish off a counterattack but Roma’s reliable center back Konstantinos Manolas cleared the danger off the goal line.

Approaching the hour-mark, Luciano Vietto was set up nicely with only Roma goalkeeper Alisson to beat but his chip shot was tipped over the bar by the Brazil international.

Niguez was then set up perfectly in the center of the area but aimed his shot directly at Alisson – who had a terrific performance – and missed again from close-range in the 90th.

Roma’s best chance came from Radja Nainggolan with a low, powerful effort following a corner that was stopped by goalkeeper Jan Oblak near the post.

Meanwhile, Simeone and Roma counterpart Eusebio Di Francesco gesticulated on the touchlines with the same energy they used to display against each other in the Rome derby in the Olimpico as players – Simeone for Lazio and Di Francesco for Roma.
